Hannah Madans, a USC graduate, has been with the Register since 2014. Her beat covers a gamut of subjects that include the robust retail landscape of Orange County, consumer commodities such as groceries, gas and cable, and the hospitality industry. In her time at the Register, Madans has written breaking news stories about Haggen’s fall in Southern California and backlogs at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. She has also written features on topics including tourism on Catalina Island, a helicopter pilot school at John Wayne and nobody's favorite subject: taxes. Madans also helps curate story and slideshow packages for the Register's voracious online audience.
